Glass Polymer

by Eastman Chemical B.V. · Netherlands · PLA566 · Published 24 Aug 2010
About this material

This raw material made from Glass Polymer offers innovative design and application possibilities. It is an alternative to traditional polymers and can be used where glass falls short.

It can be converted by injection molding, injection blow molding and extrusion blow molding. The material is not fit for outdoor markets (low UV-resistance).

Glass Polymer is primarily used in cosmetics and personal care packaging applications like jars and caps and lids. The major characteristics are easy processing, toughness, clarity, impact resistance, chemical resistance, design flexibility (thick to thin walls).
